Nutrition is vital to mental health, and I have to tell y'all I've never felt better since I started taking

AG1 from athletic greens. I've started taking AG1 because I wanted to try something more convenient and easier on my stomach than taking

Hello, welcome to emotional bad ass where Moxie meets mindful. I'm your host, Nikki Eisenhower, Life Coach and Psychotherapist.

And on today's episode, I'm discussing going from, I'm sorry to thank you.

We are all flawed human beings. It's the human condition. We will inevitably commit mistakes and wrongs over the course of our life because we're in perfect creatures.

And one of the primary ways that we learn is through experience. And by experience, I mean through the experiment of getting things wrong a whole lot before we learn how to get things right.

I'm sorry seems like a great thing to say on paper and we learn it as little beings as toddlers.

But if we overuse, I'm sorry. If we use it kind of constantly all throughout the day, if we're apologizing for the day in and day out little human moments and frictions instead of saving it for the bigger mistakes, the wrong doings.

We're watering down. I'm sorry. And we're giving ourselves some messages that are hard to find within that simple little phrase of I'm sorry. So I'm going to try to break down this dynamic for you today.

Here are common I'm sorry's from highly sensitive people. I'm sorry I'm crying. I'm sorry I'm so emotional. I'm sorry I don't have more energy.

I'm sorry I have to say no. I'm sorry I'm leaving early. I'm sorry I'm difficult. I'm sorry I need to reschedule. I'm sorry I'm sick. I'm sorry I didn't want to go to the restaurant you suggested.

I'm sorry I didn't do more. I'm sorry it's not perfect. It's not exactly right. I'm sorry I'm different.

I'm sorry I have to have a boundary here. I'm sorry winds up communicating to both parties the sender and the receiver. That I'm a problem.

My wants and desires and ideas and feelings are problematic. That's why I have to apologize so frequently. And I say I'm sorry because I'm a problem because I haven't accepted myself.

I don't like that I can't handle more I don't like that I have to say no. Basically we wind up reinforcing I'm sorry so much that we wind up feeling sorry for existing.
